Sarcoglycanopathies are relatively rare progressive muscular dystrophies with autosomal recessive inheritance designated as á, â, ã, or ä sarcoglycanopath.; which belong to the group of limb girdle muscular dystrophies and are caused by mutations in any of the four sarcoglycan genes: alpha (LGMD 2D), beta (LGMD 2E), gamma (LGMD 2C) and delta (LGMD 2F). The phenotype resembles dystrophinopathies due to proximal muscle weakness and calf hypertrophy. Reports from Bangladesh are scarce. We report a rare case of primary sarcoglycanopathy (SGP) which emphasizes the evolving concept of “dystrophinopathy to sarco-glycanopathy”. and describe literature pertaining to this rare entity DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jdmc.v22i2.21551 J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 22, No.2, October, 2013, Page 232-235

Severe Childhood Autosomal Recessive Muscular Dystrophy (SCARMD) is a variant of sarcoglycanopathy resulting from mutation in the sarcoglycan genes. SCARMD is a rare form of muscular dystrophy characterised by severe DMD like phenotype occurring at early ages and affecting boys as well as girls. Here we are reporting a case of 7year old female child born to 3rd degree consanguineous parents presented with proximal muscle weakness beginning in both lower limbs since4 years of age. On thorough clinical examination and laboratory evaluation child turned out to be SCARMD. Hence this case report emphasizes that suspicion of SCARMD has to be made when female children presented with features of DMD, and genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis should be done to reduce the burden of the disease in the community.

Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder that occurs as a consequence of disturbances in the ectoderm of the developing embryo. The triad of nail dystrophy, alopecia or hypotrichosis and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis is usually accompanied by a lack of sweat glands and a partial or complete absence of primary and/or permanent dentition. Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder and X-linked recessive inheritance is most commonly seen. But we are reporting a rare case of autosomal recessive inheritance of Ectodermal dysplasia in here.

ABSTRACT A 25-year-old male dwarf and his sister, a 31-year-old woman were investigated. Their respective heights were 114 and 97 cm with proportional statures. Their bone ages were that found in the adult subject. Thyroid functions and metyrapone test were normal and the total urinary gonadotrophin was determined in both cases. HGH secretion was not stimulated by insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, arginine infusion or exercise. Their parents and six other siblings were normal in height. The two patients were therefore assumed to be suffering from an isolated growth hormone deficiency with autosomal recessive inheritance.

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.
